Does it mean anything when a guy text you good morning using your first name?

I texted my lover good morning earlier. He did reply. He said to me Good morning and my first name. Normally he calls me by my nickname. Not sure if he is mad at me or what the deal is. Maybe this is no biggie but I'm just curious since he never addresses me

by my first name.

You're reading into this way too much. Be secure in your relationship. Insecurity breeds doubt on both ends.

Why are you looking for trouble?

It means nothing. Did he act like he was angry?

I think you worry WAY too much - not good for a relationship!

I'm not sure. This is a bit comical because it reminds me of a time when my husband tried out a new nickname for me and I did a double take. I wasn't sure if he was referring to a cake I just made or if he was calling me that term of endearment. I usually like just my name. Maybe he was just being different or felt like something else.

See how things go today. Try not to overthink this unless he acts out or something.

Don't worry, OP. It happens.

Yes HB... I say this only because I have come a long way about being a worry-wart, and still have a long way to go!

As long as he doesn't call you "Ted", you're ok.

Lol oh ok thanks

Nickname could be "Teddy Bear" or "Ted" for short!

Could be—if only Ted was not her friend that her lovelorn lover thinks is her other lover.

Relationships don't need to be this complicated, you know? Especially the ones that are defined by not quite being defined. Those are the ones that are all juice, no squeeze, if fleeting. When they get too squeezy, at least in my experience, it's either a sign that juice is gone or that someone needs to step up and say the thing ("Lover, I want you to be my partner!") that is very scary, but sometimes very rewarding, to say.

Food for thought. Nibble as you see fit.

My wife knows better than to call me by my name.

I mean... did he include your middle name? Like when my mom used my first and middle name I knew she was pissed at me.

Otherwise maybe he just wants to call you by your name for a change.

lol..............

 

I'd ask him, playfully, about it. It could be as simple as he dislikes your nickname and prefers your given name.

 

What's more concerning to me is why can't you just ask him, in a playful, teasing way? What are you afraid will happen? Fear like that surrounding basic communication does not bode well for a successful long term relationship.

I would have responded to the text "Good Morning ". That's just my nature. I suppose that would be my way of finding out "why no nick name?" right there and then, but yet in a playful way!!!

Or good morning 'Ted'.

Pick your battles. At least it wasn't some other girl's name.

I would have responded to the text "Good Morning ".

So you've forgiven him for going through your phone?

Are you the one who wants to turn this FWB into a relationship?

If he called you by your name, what's the problem? It's your name! If he called you Sh*t for brains, well that'd be a different story.

If he starts calling you "Stella".....Run!

just another one of my storys here. The guy i was with for 3 years never called me by my name. Usually baby...or something...or just Goodmorning. After 3 years I knew his tone. (we didn't text much back then...mostly phone) Wellllll one day he called me by my NAME. and his voice just sounded different. I wasn't too concerned because we had just become engaged 2 weeks before. I then found out...that he had met someone! um. yep.

He was like...Hi Carla. I was....huh?
